Autumn 2017 Collection

And here we have Vacciniumcylindraceum, the Azores Blueberry, wearing a stunning little number in gold, pistachio and scarlet, accessorised by some deep midnight fruit. Front page of Vogue before the month is out.

Holidays? Is that like ‘vacation’? Some plants have a weird way of getting around, and vacciniums have those small seeds that birds can carry to some strange places. . . . like the elderberries. I used to think that North America had a monopoly on elderberries, only to learn that there are more varieties in Europe, and even some in Russia! The soapberry from Oklahoma and Texas is somehow native to Hawaii. That is one I can not explain, because it has those big seeds that do not get around so easily.
